 "Doesn't that mean that each one of them is practically a walking tank. so cool!" shouted Kurata.

Milo nodded nonchalantly after jack reveal everything. "Yeah you could say that!."

"So that mean, that the reason why you all wearing a big bulky power armor!. . . Is Because the power of your rifles is equivalent to that of anti-tank batterie?!" asked shino

" pretty much!" said milo

"Huh!, and here I thought you people, only like to make you things big and flashy!" said shino

"Our doctrine has changed significantly throw out the history kuribayashi, thanks to the advancement in technology many things in the military has also changed, you may think of it as impractical, But think of it. When just our rifles could deliver such destructive power, imagine what our tanks and airships could do. With that, we must adapt to endure the same punishment, not to mention most of our aliens enemies used to have much more power than us, so we have to adapt and create more powerful weapons with stronger defensive mechanism and even stealth capability to keep up with our foes!" explain gadriel

Every JSDF member sweat dropped while lelei eyes widen as the realization struck them, Anyone who had witness the battle in italica could understand the devastation there weapons caused. Moreover, the 3rd Recon Team could not forget the moment the marines massacred the mighty Fire Dragon.

After lelei Translate and explain what the JSDF and the dominion were talking about, tuka and Rory scudded, while Piña sighed in desperation and looked out of the window with a dissatisfied expression searching some kind of hope.

While inspecting the piles of wyvern corpses on the battlefield, she had found many huge holes in the bodies. A closer inspection of their shattered scales revealed lead chunks and other fragments. Working backward from there, Lelei had deduced the mechanism of firearms by careful analysis of what she had seen, heard and learned, also Jack explanation strengthened what she heard and completed the puzzle in her head.

Completed what she already knows. Piña came to the conclusion that she need to convinces her father to surrender immediately, or the Empire will be annihilated from existence. Either by the war machine of the JSDF or by the might of the Dominion.

Piña's vision suddenly blurred thinking about what jack said about the JSDF weapons. "It's not magic, but a weapon? So since humans can make these weapons, they can distribute them to all of their soldiers? If that's the case, then obviously the way they wage war would be different. No matter how many men with spears or swords we raised, their numbers would be useless in the face of an enemy who fought like this."

As these thoughts ran through her mind out of the blue, a Type 96 armored personnel carrier roared up beside them. The rear hatch opened, disgorging a number of fully armed and equipped men. The soldiers who rushed out of the vehicle swiftly formed a neat firing line; their weapons pointed at imaginary opponents. At this moment, Piña could vividly imagine cavalry and infantry being gunned down in their ranks, and she furrowed her brows in anxiety. 

"Too slow! Move your asses faster! Again!"

In response to their commander's rebuke, the JSDF troopers got back onto the APC. After watching them train like this, Piña could not help but think 'So there's a huge difference even from their basic fighting styles.' Unlike the fear which had been deeply engraved into her soul in Italica, she was afraid because she could now understand her opponent, and it frightened her.

Piña turned to look inside the HMV, and she saw Itami, Kuwabara, Kurata and the others holding the non-magical weapons they called "guns." If they were weapons, even Piña or Bozes should be able to use them if they got their hands on one of them.
